Does the lariat ultimate include power/remote tailgate?

Well the window sticker for my '19 order is now available so was taking a look at it this morning:

http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....%2F5o6PIX5Q%3D

What I don't see specifically listed is the remote/power tailgate, whereas I thought on other window stickers I saw it explicitly listed ... can someone confirm what package that feature is part of? It wasn't listed as a stand alone option on the order sheet (I'm looking at that right now too). If it is not power/remote, is it at least an "easy down/up" tailgate?

Thanks!

Ultimate Lariat has power everything and power down tailgate.
No package has power "up" tailgate.
The window sticker won't go into that detail I don't think.

But yes, the tailgate actually feels very light when lifting it up.

The Lariat Ultimate includes a remote tailgate release feature. You can drop the tailgate remotely via push-button inside the cab or by using the key fob. There’s a damper with a one-way valve to control the drop. You have to “easy close” the tailgate by hand.

HTH,
Jim / crewzer

Need to tag along this thread. Does the Ultimate package include the visor garage door opener? It doesn't mention it but normally a full package has it.

I Custom ordered my 2017 Lariat ultimate and the universal garage door opener was not included in the ultimate package. It was a $125 option to add it. I don't know about the newer model years though, sorry.

Universal garage door opener is a separate $125 MSRP option. It’s not included in the Ultimate pkg.

It is cheaper to add it yourself anyway. I put it in mine for $95.
